sol17 #27: hey, it's okay

Hey, it's okay...if you really are at a loss for ideas on the blog post today. Publish something that is just okay anyways.

Hey, it's okay.... if you slept almost all of Saturday. Waking up at 7:45 to get somewhere by 9 had your pretty tired, so it's cool that you took a 3 hour nap.

Hey, it's okay....if you haven't really cleaned your apartment in about 5 months. (Don't judge me!) I mean that I haven't washed floors and windows. Spring break is coming, spring cleaning is coming!

Hey, it's okay...if you've listened to Ed Sheeran on repeat for at least two weeks.

Hey, it's okay if you like Snapchat and Bitmojis and you're in the second half of your 30's. Your students think you're 26, after all.

Hey, it's okay...if you write a blog that comes off like it's kinda boastful, but really, you just don't want to forget all the nice things people said to you one day.

Hey, it's okay...if you mess up sometimes. Just say you're sorry and make it better next time.

Hey, it's okay....if you didn't send your bff her Christmas present until March. She understands.

Did you read my post above? The idea is to give yourself permission to mess things up, start with "Hey, it's okay..." and then fill in all the things you wish you had done better. Give it a try or check out another idea onthe padlet. Or leave a comment for some other bloggers!

book study - coming soon!

Soooo....the book study is today. And my post still isn't ready. End of the year has got me, but I promise it will be coming this weekend!

Did you read chapters 3-6 of On Your Mark? Get your posts ready to link up on Saturday!

Hey, it's okay to miss one deadline here and there, right?

Have a great night!

Hey, It's Ok!

So sometimes on my other blog I write this one post like the Glamor magazine column where you write about all the things it's okay to do - you know - don't beat yourself up about little things? Well, here's my edition for this Wednesday...

Hey, it's okay...
to wear wet pants to work because your'e running late and slipped on the ice on the way out to the car.

Hey, it's okay...
if it's three weeks later and you *still* haven't finished AIMS Web on that last set of kids you were supposed to finish so long ago.

Hey, it's okay...
to scrap your academic-centered lesson plans in reading workshop and revert back to management lessons for a week.

Hey, it's okay...
to interrupt your RtI lesson plans and have kids work silently for two days in a row to benchmark all the kids in the group.

Hey, it's okay...
if some things at work are going so so well, and others, well, I'll take another stab at it tomorrow.

Hey, it's okay...
to high-tail it out of work at 3:30 to get to that yoga class that will make you feel better, and thus, be a better teacher tomorrow.

You can't control it all...what are you beating yourself up for today? Hey, it's okay!

Happy Wednesday friends!
